Such an incredible conversation!

Packed huge ballroom at #TRLCONF2025 and yet Julie Washington somehow makes it feel small. Her message? A national move to Structured Literacy is not a done deal. Far from it. Thank you for raising the alarm! ⁦The Reading League⁩

It takes a league!!!

We can’t let this go on!

So proud of our President Brett Tingley for her first The Reading League presentation — and she knocked it out of the park! 🙌 Amazing work, Maria, Kari & the whole team for a phenomenal #TRLCONF2025

Most colleges of ed don’t teach the science of reading—so no surprise most teachers unions cling to old ways. Democratic governors: parents & researchers are begging you, embrace the science of reading. Our kids’ futures depend on it. We need bipartisanship when it comes to

🔥 We can’t attach race to reading. Everyone deserves to learn how to read, no matter the stigma. Well said Kareem J. Weaver of FULCRUM! Reading expands your world. Some may try to drag you down, but as @OliverSpeaks1 shows, literacy gives you choices, autonomy, and

🔥 When colleges of ed push balanced literacy and ignore dyslexia + structured literacy, all kids are at risk — especially struggling readers. 📉 NAEP shows it: only 1/3 of students read on grade level. Kids don’t act out because they’re “bad.” They’d rather get in trouble than

Years ago, a neuropsych told me about RAVE-O—today I met its creator, the brilliant Dr. Maryanne Wolf Her research is groundbreaking, but it’s her ability to show how literacy is a matter of life & survival that moves me most! So proud to know you, Maryanne. #DyslexiaCon2025

“If you can’t read, you’re locked into things you might not even understand or be able to change. But when you can read—you’re free.” @OliverSpeaks1 on the true power of literacy. 🔥 Listen to more: youtu.be/Jbg8z1vpTYI?si… #Literacy #DyslexiaAwareness #ScienceOfReading

Thrilled to partner with The 74’s Jessika Harkay on this powerful story. Too often, students of color are mislabeled as “behavior problems” instead of being identified as dyslexic — and the trauma is real. Huge gratitude to Joy, JCastillo & Clarice Jackson for bravely sharing

Our very own OH – KID Joy Palmer interviewed for this impactful story. Thank you so much Joy for your incredible story.

“Teachers choose this work. They’re the vanguard — the last line between children and the gates of hell.” When Colleges of Ed actually teach the science of reading, dyslexia, and effective reading instruction, teachers walk into classrooms confident. Kids learn. And that

Justin Browning Parents for Reading Justice I love this idea! So many education leaders take the slow road and very methodically bring everyone along when in fact time is of the essence. These children only get one shot. Let’s make the change people!!!

Absolutely THIS. 👇 An educator who keeps reading, learning, sharpening their craft. Teaching is just like every other real profession and requires continuous growth. Vince, THANK YOU for leading by example and for your service to kids and families! 🙌📚

Illiteracy doesn’t just mean struggling to read. It can lead to addiction, anxiety, depression, empty job applications—quiet despair. We know how to build community that saves lives. AA proves that. And still, for those who can’t read, we offer almost nothing. I’m in awe of

Peer-reviewed research has shown definitively that “dyslexia-friendly” fonts don’t meaningfully improve reading. Yet parents keep getting sold this crap. Thank you @74Million for finally saying it in popular media. Evidence > marketing scams. #Dyslexia #ScienceMatters
